Valve Manufacturing

Emerson is providing valves to Ford and GE "for the 50,000 respirators they plan to make at a Michigan auto plant. Emerson’s Aiken, South Carolina, factory shifted resources from other products to make more respirator valves."

Emerson CEO David Farr tells The St. Louis Post-Dispatch that "he’s been in daily contact with the White House’s coronavirus task force and with leading medical equipment manufacturers. He has even offered to let the government take over some Emerson facilities if necessary."
